Finally…

For breakfast, I had a Thomas Cinnamon Raisin Bagel Thin topped with whipped honey nut cream cheese and a side of fruit (1 banana, 1/2 cup blueberries, and 1 cup of strawberries). I also had a cup of 1% milk for a total of 7 points.

Before signing in to work, I brewed a pot of Stockholm Roast coffee and added FF Vanilla creamer for 2 points.

Some mornings, I just need that extra pick me up.

For my first break, I had my green smoothie (2 oranges, 1 C. Spinach) for 1 point.

For lunch, I had the same thing as yesterday. An egg salad sandwich for 5 points.

I also had Chicken Noodle Soup for 3 points.

And also a No Pudge! brownie for 3 points.

On my last break, I ate a Sweet and Salty granola bar for 5 points.

I was feeling stressed out and pretty sure that’s why I wanted to eat.

I worked a full week this week- which will be good for the pay check!

Hubby got home while I was still working, I was glad to finally get off of work! He was sick all week and didn’t feel like eating supper, so I just threw together some leftovers for myself. I had whole wheat pasta topped with a  spaghetti sauce/alfredo sauce mixture with chicken, along with green beans for 8 points.

Hubby was up to eating dessert though. I also had a slice of the four-layer dessert that I made for 6 points.

I used some weekly points today, which is fine. I rode the bike for a little over 10 minutes today, which isn’t much- but it’s something, I guess- but I wouldn’t really count it as a workout and I’m just ready to crash now. I will try to get in some good workouts this weekend.

Have a great one!

Almost Friday

For breakfast this morning, I had PB and Banana toast with a glass of 1% milk for 8 points.

Yesterday, I got a grade back for an essay that I wrote last week. He gave me 75% and gave me an insulting comment on my essay. I took the time to plan what I was going to write and I felt I did a good job on it. I’ve heard nightmares about this professor and have avoided taking him until now and have only taken him now because I have to. But that grade really upset me because I just don’t get anything less than A’s and an occasional B on my papers. But at this point, I’m just trying to get through the class and MOVE on- Hopefully this won’t affect my GPA! He says that we can rewrite our essays, but I don’t think that putting the time into that will amount to anything than a waste of time, because he will rip it apart again. But last night I had a dream that I gave this professor a piece of my mind. I mean I got in his face and I told him what I thought of him. And then he started being really nice to me in my dream. lol How weird. But it stressed me out and I woke up all nervous about going to class today.

On the way to class, I drank 1/2 of a Naked Orange Carrot 100% Fruit and Veg. Smoothie for 3 points. Hubby brought this home to me last week! Thanks!

My classes were frustrating today. The one professor that likes to randomly call on me almost every class period did it again and I guess I had the wrong answer for her. I’m not the only one who cannot read her mind to give the answer that she is looking for- but I HATE this. I hate being “picked on.” If people want to answer a question or have the answer they will raise their hands. UGH! It makes me feel like I’m stupid. It makes me feel like I don’t belong or something. I guess I shouldn’t let everyone else affect me so much. Like one of you bloggers so thoughtfully told me one time, I know my own truth. I know who I am. I know I am intelligent but I just get nervous when I am called on or have to talk in class. It makes the class uncomfortable and I dread going. Which is unfortunate because I really like the subject material.

On my way home, I snacked on some baby carrots for 0 points.

For lunch, I had an egg salad sandwich and Chicken Noodle soup for 8 points.

For dessert, I had a No Pudge! brownie for 3 points of deliciousness.

And then it was time to sign in to work, although I wasn’t really in the mood today- I had no choice, of course!

For supper, I had my favorite pasta dish: whole wheat pasta, alfredo sauce, broccoli, mushrooms, and tomato for 11 points.

I also had a piece of garlic toast for 2 points.

What a delicious supper! I have to admit, I was craving comfort food after a long, hard day. I’m REALLY looking forward to hubby coming home tomorrow night!

I whipped up a dessert tonight for hubby’s return tomorrow. I know he enjoys home cooked foods, especially after eating out all week long! So that will be featured tomorrow night! I haven’t figured the points out yet, but I did make a few modifications to try to make it healthier. It’s all about moderation!

I’ve decided to take today as my 2nd planned rest day for the week and then I will have to workout Friday, Saturday and Sunday to finish off the week on schedule. Sometimes it’s easier to get motivated to workout on the weekends when you have all the time in the world.

My plan for tonight is to take it easy and go to bed early. I am more than ready for this week to be OVER!

I forgot that yesterday was my first weigh in of the month. So how did I do in February? The same as January- exactly! 3.4 lbs. lost. That’s just under my goal of 4 lbs. a month. That’s 6.8 lbs lost this year- it all adds up! So I’m happy with that!
